Technology to exert such a level of control over our species used to be science fiction. This never ends well.

If this process requireth neither mark upon thy palm nor mark upon thy forehead;
methinks this to appear not entirely unholy,
at least at this preliminary phase.

Yes it is unholy. Its mark of a slave. It was pierced ears and painted fingernails at one time.

Amazon is an economy destroyer and people who buy rom Amazon are destroying their own economy.

Amazon? That shitty company that blocks residential traffic in my neighborhood? All the men children at work are constantly spending their money on toys from the internet. Meanwhile I work on building my escape.

Sounds evil.

Anyhow some people don't have readable fingerprints

Because holding your wallet or phone near the payment screen is just too much effort.
